Channel Status bits. The part also has a feature
that allows the first five bytes of Channel Status
memory to be configured and transmitted in each
channel status block without change. See “Appen-
dix A: External AES3/SPDIF/IEC60958 Transmit-
ter and Receiver Components” on page 50 for a
tutorial in Channel Status and User bit manage-
ment.
3.4 AES3 and S/PDIF Standards
Documents
This data sheet assumes that the user is familiar
with the AES3 and S/PDIF data formats. It is advis-
able to have current copies of the AES3 and
IEC60958 specifications on hand for easy refer-
ence.
The latest AES3 standard is available from the Au-
dio Engineering Society or ANSI at www.aes.org or
www.ansi.org. Obtain the latest IEC60958 stan-
dard from ANSI or from the International Electro-
technical Commission at www.iec.ch. The latest
EIAJ CP-1201 standard is available from the Jap-
anese Electronics Bureau.
Crystal Application Note AN22: Overview of Digital
Audio Interface Data Structures contains a useful
tutorial on digital audio specifications, but it should
not be considered a substitute for the standards.
The paper, An Understanding and Implementation
of the SCMS Serial Copy Management System for
Digital Audio Transmission, by Clifton Sanchez, is
an excellent tutorial on SCMS. It is available from
the AES as preprint 3518.
4. DATA I/O FLOW AND CLOCKING
OPTIONS
The CS8427 can be configured for several connec-
tivity alternatives, called data flows. Figure 7. “Soft-
ware Mode Audio Data Flow Switching Options” on
page 19 shows the data flow switching, along with
the control register bits which control the switches;
